Germany or Brexit Britain? Which is looking more attractive now?Is it still worth moving to UK? What's the concensus?
I moved back the first week after the referendum result. Here's my take (I'm a remainer):
- No one bats an eyelid if you mispronounce a word or get a gender wrong (we don't have that male genitalia anyway).
- The UK likes an underdog. I only noticed this when I came back. I tell the story my life story and most are like "f*ck yes, darn it do it" obviously not the American style of "you can do everything" but not the German "absolutely don't consider it" it's a realistic medium. This really got me out of the rut I found myself in whilst I lived in Berlin. This for me is the most important part. If I was born in Germany, I'd be a shop assistant. In the UK I work as an engineer at a FAANG. I was in most of the remedial classes at school. My friends/family pushed me. In Germany they only insulted me.
- Go to London and bust your arse, you can achieve.
- Foreigner friendly. Half my friends are not from the UK and I love them just as much as my mates I grew up with (sometimes more, they were egging me on to do better). Their english sucks but darn it, they're here making a better life for themselves and their families and I respect them for that. I will never correct them on their pronunciation and I'm incredibly proud they've made the effort). In Germany you'll always be a foreigner and they'll hate you. There is a tiny minority in England who do hate foreigners but most of them have never lived in multicultural areas. Berlin is currently in this phase. During my time in Berlin, I was seeing a non caucasian and I'd get stares which made me feel uncomfortable. I'm not saying the UK is perfect but it is at least 20 years ahead.
Yes, the UK has problems. A lot of us left because the rents/mortgage are high. In hindsight, It's high for a darn good reason, the country is gold in comparison. The weather sucks but god darn the people, the music, the opportunity. I would give my left nut to come here as a 3rd world migrant.
Born Slippy, Polynomial C... only could've come from our crap weather as well. Sorry but Sven Vath and Hard Wax is laughable in comparison. I'll ignore the classics such as the Beatles etc because it's probably not relevant to most people on this site but culturally the UK is in a different league.
I do miss parts of Germany but not Berlin. The techno zombies can have it.
Berlin was actually actually fun before 2010. I think Brexit if it causes a decline ma
I don't mind Germany as a whole but I feel the UK even with Brexit is something I'm pro
Sorry my last paragraph is jibberish. The text box is tiny.
Basically Brexit may cause a financial decline but you may find certain areas become the pre 2010 Berlin. Shout out to Glasgow, Birmingham etc. We laughed at these places and last time I went, I had a blast.
TL;DR Brexit UK is still x100 better than Berlin.
Im also a fellow Brit.....and I couldnt agree with you more.....I lived in Berlin and I totally agree with all you say......The people are narrow minded and quite ignorant and yes even as a white person I also got odd stares that made me feel like I was a cast member of a Jew being shunned in Nazis Germany....the people still have a bad and similar attitude to Auslanders......and yes I agree we will never be accepted fully or get top positions regardless of our ability skills.......etc. The place that I thought I would love became a place a actually detested. AS for other parts of Germany I also lived and its not as bad as Berlin but the same things and atitudes still exist throughout the country as a whole.....I came across suspicion from people from all over despite meetings a few nice people and friends but I mean only 3 but the rest you could tell just had the similar approach as Berliners do to us.......maybe just not quite as bad and obvious. All I grew up hearing about how Germany is some kinda efficient and intelligent people.....with good logic - its totally BS I came to realise.....its more like following a strict road plan blueprint....way of thinking with no real original thought and nobody can think outside the box.......and efficiency....sorry I didnt come across much .....the governmental people are robots and exactly like the cast of little Britain and customer service is horrendous......they do not think for themselves and follow a herd like mentality of ignorance.....No suprising why Facism and communism took over so well.....its made for people of this mindset......and frankly its alarming as I now believe such things with people like these - it can and might just happen again......I recently came back to London and live in Surrey and can say its a delight and really felt like a breath of fresh air....things were clean, the weather mild even in winter and things worked for the most part and people actually smiled and said sorry if in the wrong......I used to put down the UK thinking it was crap before I left but now I can see that its a pretty darn good place and I will never look down on it ever again.....
These freaking Arabs they have working for Amazon now can't even find an address that is easy as fuck... literally on corner of street with a spati downstairs... then I have to waste another morning waiting for these retards? Stupid butt country
The graffiti is immature like this entire city
Dating Germans in Berlin... Need I say more? Please share your experiences so that we can have a laugh together
OP here: I’ve had so many experiences they’d fill a book. In fact I’m pondering over writing one. Fazit of my experiences: don’t bother, unless they’ve spent time in at least one different country. Entitled, mostly spoiled, can’t communicate, they’re always right, except when they’re not but it’s your fault, hold grudges, can’t understand irony... there are exceptions, but they either spent much time in another country or they’ve actually finished their university studies on time.
Believe me, I tried. Too hard.
A German ex of mine told me tha her ex-boyfriend destroyed her piano with an axe and I thought "what a psycho". After six months with her, I completely understood his frustration boiling over. Whatever you do, DON'T date them, male or female, go MGTOW to save your sanity, and in particular, stay away from Feminists. These wonderful women would agree with me wholeheartedly. realequalitywomen.com
Further to my comment re tandem lessons. I sensed a mutual attraction between myself and this woman but I felt like I was having to justify myself all of the time. Although she was somewhat nicer that most people you'll encounter in this city, she had many of their traits.
"You spend too much energy talking to them, and you get absolutely nothing in return..." This comment, 100%. It's like, imagine talking to someone who just doesn't "get it," similar to a mentally retarded person. Except, the mentally retarded person is less annoying and less headache-inducing to talk to. You basically have the same convos with Germans over and over when you date them, and they make excuses constantly. Or, you ask them to do something, and they make excuses constantly. Just get it done lol.
“I felt like I was having to justify myself all of the time”. This. THIS. With every single German girl I dated. Always asking myself whether I said or did something wrong, always trying to understand why they became annoyed. Took me a long time to realize that it was THEIR problem, not mine. Btw I’m also a girl, but straight German girls are just as awful
In 2 years of living and dating in Berlin, the only girls I could connect with were girls who just arrived in Berlin or who were visiting the city. Most dates with girls that have been in the city for a long time were mostly terrible (with a few exceptions). Seems like staying in Berlin for too long makes you undateable
I stayed here in Berlin for 2.5 years and after meeting so many wierd guys I stop dating germans.They always texting from Morning to night but never actually want to have a date properly because they are depressed,so many things to do from work and study(Come on.I am working too),always complaining this and that...Oh no...But I know that Berliners have more mental problems and desperate to have casual sex as many as they can ubder the name of blalba sexual and Open relationship.But no one is that hot.So many my colleagues are cheating aorund.Only thing makes Berliner exciting is disgusting sex at the dirty club or dirty WG.I would not want any of this smelly,poor,old enough but still mental age 14 guys.
the "relationships" with the Germans just trigger the whole poop out of you, the whole mental things you have in you, but didnt want to accept it. Thats why this experience is useful. Please, stay strong, relay on your friends (i hope you have them in Berlin) and escape the city a.s.a.p.
Berlin German Cops are Whoresons :) They can suck my penis . I hope these arrogant sons and daughters of female dogs get beaten.
Any good sites for apartment hunting, which also has a bigger range for houses? Everything is chore.
had a great experience with crocodilian.de, but it only works with furnished apartments, though.
„ I am Romanian and I am not offended.
I’d rather tell a story- with my garlicky breath- about this dude called the Impaler and how he dealt with little female dogs that moaned too much...“
Romanian Monkey. Your Women are whores who fornicate with Muslim and Black cocks all day. Go back to your idiot country you east european gypsie Whoreson. Oh and by the way was Romania not ruled over 400 years by Ottoman Empire ? Haha freaking east european loser !!!
Why are there so many people who are over 30 but still studying without any real job experience ? I find this so bizarre. I have nothing against being student late but If you are 30 and have no real job experience, you must be very lazy or useless. I have seen so many people like that in this country who don't contribute to society economically. They seem happy about It by the way. I guess, they have no intention to work ever.
Because you dont pay anything so just they want this life as long as they can.Non grow up.Party.Not commitment for anything.I came from country which you must pay so much money to go to Uni and many poor people give up becaus of it.But when I see Germany it makes me doubt.So many uni student but not really passion for studying just passion for beinylg forever dependent party teenagers.
Fck haters. Germany above all.
JAAA! we the bestest, meke diesel car, all our car in mediocre range, electro car was ist das?... ahh siemens JA! semens ist sehr gut! vacuum.

What japanese super efficient and polite news? naaa pusies!!!!! LALALL LALALA
'Fck haters'
This reads like all of those retarded stickers that are plastered all over the streets in Germany. Gegen Nazis? Kein Mencsh ist illegal? Wow! How noble and original! Who the hell are PC krauts fooling with all the nonsense that comes out of their mouths?
A friend of mine was put in hand cuffs at the burgeramt because the amazing beautiful Aryan lady believed his IItalian ID was fake. She didn't even try to verify the document and directly humiliated in front of everyone and his family then went on to call the police. needless to say the police verified the document. Now this whole time. My friend handed over a passport too which she deemed as a real document. So tell me why would someone show a real passport and a fake identity document? These people have the lowest IQ I've ever seen. She did not even know how to read the identity card on top of which she did not consult with a colleague. I hate this place. Anyways he's filing a report against her. These are the people that ask me if an English ausfuelhilfe document is ok when they see I'm a Brit. FUCKSHIT THATS WHERE ENGLISH COMES FROM. next time I'le just shout at these cunts and shower them in lawsuits.
I wish they were stupid, I think they know exactly what they are doing and they are doing it deliberately. They despise foreigners and they hate Italians (but they do indeed enjoy Italian food and "invade" the beautiful Italian peninsula over Summer). I am really sorry for your friend, I hope his report will go somewhere (I doubt it).
I really want to learn If all of German people have vision impair ? Why don't they look around while they are walking and always bump into you ? I do not want to start talking about their sudden stops on the middle of way or pavement without any reason. Walking is one of the first skill you develop when you were baby. A healthy person can't fail on walking or should not fail on walking
"Germany needs skilled labor". Well maybe they should try to pay accordingly. Stumbled upon a job "offer" today. 2000 Euros net for a skilled IT professional. LOL?
Do you want to see how average German responds to your criticism ? Please read below. This country is really a massive joke for foreigners.
2000 Euros might be seen low but life is too cheap in Germany. I only spend 5 Euros on food to feed myself with greasy and unhealthy food. I also share my flat with 3 other people and I pay 500 Euros Warm for my flat. 2000 Euros is enough to live in Germany comfortably. Yes you can earn more in US, UK or Netherlands but life is sooo expensive there. So, Germany is the best country to live.

Berlin is one of the most depressing places in the world.
Too many arab Bastards and romanian Bastards and Feminazi Cunts. Shut it Down !
I'm back in Australia and it's like living on another planet. The only people who are cuntss here are Zionists with German names, Asians who refuse to integrate, feminazis and Southern Europeans. Most people are friendly and helpful. If you have a problem here, real friends seem to come out of the woodwork. I had to go to hospital and two vegan friends brought me food, another looked after all my affairs, another picked me up from hospital, anything I needed was there and five people have told me to call if I need any help at all. Australians are great people. So calm and relaxed here, but plenty of action if you want it. Great cultural activities, outdoor sports, wonderful sense of local community and also state and national community.
The worst decision of my life was to move to Berlin. I don't care where you are from, go back there, it can't be worse than Berlin.
Come to think of it, going to live in Berlin was a good thing, it has made me realise what real life is like, instead of an artificial city full of students with no real life experience. They say you have to leave to appreciate what you have.
Just watched a great TV ad with stunning looking beach babes and Pamela Anderson looking as sexy as ever, saving a fat guy in the water, with no mention to what he product was until the very end, when Pamela looks into the camera and recommends UltraTune for car tuning. Very funny, sending up gratuitous sexiness. You could see they were taking the pisss out of Feminazis.
Great weather, relaxed atmosphere, friendly and helpful shop staff, beaches everywhere. Rents are expensive here but even shop attendanats earn about €16 per hour so it averages out, but here you get much more bang for your buck. Clean streets, no filthy scum pisssing and shiitting in the street, no drug sellers on street corners, just people enjoying their lives. Great sense of humour, and very generous.
A friend of mine gave me a car when I arrived back, yes, gave, not loaned, another set me up with a place to stay and until I get on my feet and I only have to pay the mortgage fees, a great breathing space until I decide where I want to live. I love my anglo saxon heritage, that was for the cuunt in the next thread who wants to hang us, probably a jealous fuck-knuckle. .
